Jani-King franchise’s special donation

The operations team from Jani-King franchise Sydney franchise office recently joined the team at Channel Nine’s Renovate or Detonate to lend a helping hand on the show’s premiere special.

The team of six donated their time and cleaning skills for a home transformation that took place to aid a New South Wales Central Coast family who had been doing it tough.

Sydney Jani-King regional manager, Rod Winterton, says that when he heard of the family’s situation, he was keen to volunteer for the job.

“It’s an amazing story really – two daughters acting as the primary carers for their wheelchair-bound mother as a result of a tragic accident 11 years ago,” Winterton says. “When I learned what the family had been dealing with and how strong the two daughters were to look after their mother for so long, I had no hesitation in helping with the renovation.”

Considering the cleaning franchise nature of Jani-King, Winterton says it was obvious his team could be of assistance.

“Jani-King is the world’s number-one commercial cleaning franchise, so it was very fitting that we helped out with the cleaning during the renovation,” he says.

“I was extremely proud of my operations team, who jumped straight into the task – they put their whole heart and soul into the cleaning to make the renovation a success for such an amazing family. We carried out a ‘builders clean’, which is basically cleaning everything in detail, including washing windows, fixtures, walls and floors.

“The cleaning took six hours and it was quite a frantic task, trying to ensure the home was complete with all the finishing touches.”

In addition to donating its time during the renovation, Jani-King Sydney will continue its involvement with the family.

“We felt there was more Jani-King could do for this family than just offering a day of cleaning. Looking after their mother is a full-time job in itself for these girls, so we decided to donate Jani-King’s cleaning services for a year to take some pressure off the family,” Winterton says.

The ongoing cleaning will be carried out by Jani-King franchise owner Bill Ballard.
